MR2 Rev 3 Turbo GTS

Post by big_joe »

Im selling my MR2 as I need something a bit more economical, preferably a Honda. The car is a 1994 MR2 Rev 3 Turbo, Japanese import of course. I’ve used the car everyday for the last 6 months and it’s been fantastic, never letting me down.
Spec
90k miles
6months Tax and Test
Mongoose Exhaust system
New Greddy intercooler kit
Work Motorsport 4 piston big brake kit with brand new discs and EBC yellow pads all round.
BC coilovers
HKS induction kit
HKS blow off valve
JDM 17” staggered wheels 17x7.5 front, 17.8.5 rear

Since buying the car I’ve spent a small fortune improving it. First up I bought the JDM wheels as it’s essential for the handling on an MR2 to maintain the stagger. They are wrapped in Michelin pilot exalto tyres which are fantastic in dry and wet conditions. Next I spent £700 upgrading the brakes to the WMS kit with braided hoses, new discs and EBC yellows all round. I also had a Toad cat 1 alarm and immobiliser fitted, fitted a new ignition coil and gave her an oil change.

To drive, the car is incredibly tight, there are no funny noises and no smoke from the turbo/engine. It is always warmed up and cooled down in the correct fashion. The BC coilovers offer fantastic ride quality whilst tightening up the car and giving incredible handling. The brakes can rip your face off and the acceleration kicks you in the back :D. The body work of the car is also in magnificent condition, there is not a dent on it and it polishes up a treat.

Bad points
A small rust patch coming through on either arch and a small patch on the tbar roof.

Gearbox syncro – when changing from 4th to 3rd, there is a crunch at higher revs. Every other gear is perfect, I just double declutch 4th to 3rd and it completely eliminates it.

Tbar leak – It’s dripping a bit after prolonged heavy rain, this is easily fixed (and for free), I’ll do it if i get chance.

Due to the money I’ve spent and the fantastic condition I’m looking for £3500 ono. If the asking price is met I can Include an almost brand new greddy intercooler kit. Viewing and driving is highly recommended. Thanks for looking!

Did the old cling film and selotape repair yesterday, so T-bar should hopefully be leak free now :).

Thanks, I'm a little surprised I've not had too much interest yet. I am open to sensible offers, I'm sure the first to see will buy!

Still here, i've not actively been trying to sell it for a while as I've been enjoying driving it too much, but it's still for sale for the right offer. Now has a full new greddy intercooler kit fitted too. Also have a perfect rev 3 box waiting to go on :).
